Isn't there a way to use some stripped-down version of ghc and the base libraries, providing only what the user really needs, in versions which are known to work, and supply that together with the application?

I'd love to use haskell as a configuration language, provide some combinators and effectively get the rest for free.
But it is not acceptable for a user to go through the mess of installing a ghc environment on, say, Windows, only to change some settings.

I don't understand.  Why don't you use Haskell as the scripting language?
